2. Requirements for the use of the API Service, Conclusion of Contract

2.1 The use of the API Service requires the opening of an Account in the Application in accordance with Section B.2and the conclusion of a Service Contract.

2.2 Registration for the API Service is only possible after prior consultation with Nodety using the booking form provided within the Application. For this purpose, the User must fill in the booking form with their contact and payment details. After submitting the booking form, the User receives a confirmation email from Nodety, whereby a contract for the use of the API Service is concluded between the User and Nodety (hereinafter “Service Contract”).

2.4 The conclusion of a Service Contract and the use of the API Service is only permitted to Users who are entrepreneurs.

2.5 There is no entitlement to the conclusion of a Service Contract. Nodety reserves the right to refuse the conclusion of a Service Contract without giving reasons.

3. Functionality of the API Service, Limitation of Liability

3.1 The provision of data via the API Service is based on the conversion of the content provided by the User using artificial intelligence (AI). The AI can recognize and convert the most common forms, formats and graphic contexts. The more training data has already been incorporated into the training of the AI, the higher the probability that content can be correctly recognized and converted. The more often a certain combination of shapes, formats and graphic contexts (so-called patterns) or adjacent or related patterns have been trained, the more reliable the conversion will be.

3.2 If a pattern occurs rarely and/or is not sufficiently known to the algorithm, it is possible that the pattern is not recognized and assigned by the AI with sufficient certainty, so that the conversion is incorrect or defective. It is therefore possible that content that is easy for a natural person to convert manually is not converted correctly by the AI and, conversely, content that is difficult for a natural person to convert manually can be converted by the AI with ease.

3.3 User feedback on the quality and corruption of the data provided via the API Service is therefore essential for training the AI.

3.4 Due to the operation of the API Service described in the above paragraphs, the User is obliged to check the data provided via the API Service immediately, in particular before using the data for customers or in the context of products.

3.5 Nodety assumes no liability for the use of the data provided via the API Service; in particular, Nodety shall not be liable to the User’s customers and end customers regarding the data provided via the API Service or the products generated by the User.

Nodety is entitled to edit, prepare and adapt the Content technically so that it can also be displayed in other formats and made available to the User via the API.

4.2 The User guarantees that they are the owner of the rights granted and that they are able to exercise the rights described in Section 4.1 effectively. The User also guarantees that the Content does not infringe any third-party rights, in particular trademark, competition, copyright, property or personal rights.

4.3 Upon first request, the User shall indemnify Nodety against all third-party claims, in particular claims due to trademark, copyright and personal rights violations, which should be asserted against Nodety in connection with the Content provided by the User. The User is also obliged to defend against unfounded third-party claims regarding the Content provided. The User must inform Nodety immediately of any third-party claims of which they become aware. Nodety is entitled to take suitable measures to defend against third-party claims or to pursue its own rights. The indemnification also includes the reimbursement of costs that Nodety incurs or has incurred because of legal prosecution/defense. This shall not affect Nodety’s further claims for damages. If Nodety itself is responsible for the infringement, claims against the User are excluded.

5.1 If the Parties set up a test operation before the API Service goes live, the User is obliged to submit feedback regarding the quality of the files provided via the API Service using the feedback tool provided by Nodety.

5.2 The data provided via the API Service in test mode may only be used for quality control purposes. The User is not granted any further rights of use to the transmitted data. In particular, the User is prohibited from commercially using or otherwise exploiting the data provided via the test mode.

The amount of the fee is shown to the User when the Service contract is concluded.

6.2 The User shall pay Nodety the remuneration specified upon conclusion of the Service contract. The remuneration shall be invoiced in the calendar month following the use of the API Service.

7. Obligations of the User

7.1 The User will provide the information required to connect to the Nodety API Service without being asked.

7.2 The User shall properly connect the API to their own hardware and software systems and observe the information provided by Nodety.

7.3 The User shall provide the content in sufficient quality and in a standard digital format, agreed at the time ot the conclusion of the Service Agreement.

7.4 The User will carefully check the quality and design of files transmitted via the API Service.

7.5 The User is obliged to participate in the quality control and improvement of the API Service. To this end, the User shall submit feedback on the quality of the files provided via the API Service using the feedback tool provided by Nodety. The User is advised that failure to cooperate will mean that the API Service cannot be trained and that the quality will not develop as well as possible.

8. Term and Termination

3.6 If the trainings cannot be carried out in the agreed period within the meaning of Section 3.4, Nodety shall have the right to propose an alternative date.
